Skeptical reluctant, and testing the waters is the best way for myself to describe my post at this time. Dx boarder line at one point, depressed at another, and bi polar on a third. Not sure they know what they are seeing or thinking at times, but I know I definitely don't know with the way things fly through my head. Don't know if I should call myself by name or something else. Have huge trust issues. Size of the freak Grand Canyon trust issues. It does not appear ppl understand this dx or even wish to at times. Sometimes I get quite confused. What I do know is my mood can be good one moment and feeling good, then something snaps in the head and sad as heck. Been med free for two half years and was doing great till change at work and since that time (2 month) been bouncing all over. Just out of curiosity -hence the name, anyone else go back and take these dumb on line quizzes just to see if the outcome changes? I know that sounds really dumb, but I guess I still hope for different outcome. Does not seem to come though. Sorry rattling on. Hi!

Welcome!! I've been med free for a while but decided to see a doctor again and try something different. I have the same quick mood changes and it's very hard to go through days like that. Very tiring for me.

Perhaps doing this wrong, but here goes. Are you not worried about losing your personality at all? I recall when I was on three mens I felt like I was empty. I was put on after SI. That made me more angry and resentful.

Hi. I haven't been here long either, but there seem to be a lot of nice people sharing support and stories and advice.

I haven't taken any of the online quizzes you mentioned. Just wanted to say hello and welcome!

I don't have any insight, but I wanted to say hi because we have similar screen names. So very nice choice

I am always taking online quizes! I also have moods that shift around all the time. I don't understand how I can be ok one minute and an hour later am planning how I would kill myself. I was stable for almost a year and then went into a hypo state due to stress over a huge event and I just haven't been right since.

And Welcome!!!

Bouncing into a new experience

Online quizzes are good for learning about yourself and where your at. They also at times bring to the fore thoughts and feelings you weren't aware of. Another benefit I find is I do a quiz and then question my psych to see how he feels about my findings....so it helps me because I become more educated and my psych knows my thinking.

Just my two cents worth. And welcomeBouncing into a new experience

Thanks. I was starting to think I was really screwed up. At least now I know I am not the only one that keeps looking at those darn quizzes. You have no idea how much better that makes me feel.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
